Identities Under Siege: Rethinking the Protection of LGBTQ+ Children and Youth

Evaluation of World Childhood Foundation’s groundbreaking efforts to protect LGBTQ+ children and youth from sexual abuse and violence. It focuses on projects in Cambodia, Moldova, Poland, Sweden, and Ukraine between 2018 and 2024, and explores broader global geo-political dynamics shaping the field. The study reflects on the six years of programmatic work, identifies successes and challenges, and offers strategic recommendations.

This is a comprehensive report containing important information and recommendations for LGBTQ+ organizations, child rights organizations, and funders. In light of the current global context, children, young people, and adults who identify as LGBTQ+ are in a particularly vulnerable situation in many countries. This affects the extent to which we can share the report and its contents publicly. For more information, please feel free to contact us.

The report was conducted in 2025 by Ghazal Keshavarzian and Mark Canavera.
